New noob from the South

Greetings,

New here, but not to gun forums. Hoping to get the "lay of the land" without getting into trouble.

I like collecting weird and unusual 1911's and making accessories for them in my wood shop.

One of my current favorite 1911's. This one is a 1918. I call him "Deadpool."

Now that's a distinct possibility. Never thought of that. The story I tell is that it was lost for a couple of years under the wooden deck of an early aircraft carrier in the Pacific.

How about me being the "Gnu newb?"

Or perhaps the "Knew knoob?"

I think he was my assigned weapon in the military! Certainly looks like it!

I have his brother - "Ryan Reynolds" He's a few years older (1914) and has had a facelift.

Oh yeah, and this forum is based in Baton Rouge, so you're basically a Yankee, in our eyes! :rofl:

Nice Springer, unfortunate it was cerakoted.

How about Deadpool's "older sister." She is the looker in the family. (I keep mixing up the dates on these . . . . Deadpool is a 1918, this one is a 1917.)

Yeah, I got it that way. You think it's cerakoted? I think it was re-parkerized (it's actually grey, not green, like it looks in the pic), but I could be wrong.

Very nice 1911s Curly! Thanks for sharing them with us!

You're very welcome. I have a few. Was hoping to find other 1911 collectors around the site.

Is there any sub forum that would be better than others?

Also there doesn't appear to be a "like" button in any of the posting on this site. Is that feature I've seen on other sites not supported?
